Mehrnaz (Maggie) Khorami is an electro-acoustic composer based in Den Haag, Netherlands. She studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague and has a background in classical music.
Mehrnaz’s artistic practice centers on designing sound installations, audiovisual performances, and live electro-acoustic improvisation. Her compositions integrate diverse sounds, including custom-made acoustic instruments, urban spaces, and synthesized sound generated and manipulated through creative coding.
Driven by an unwavering curiosity for creative coding and innovation, Mehrnaz delves into uncharted realms, constantly seeking new avenues to craft synthesized sounds and infuse her works with cutting-edge technology.
Her main goal is to create a dynamic system that generates patterns, inspired by simulated ecosystems and expressed through sound and light in spatial domains.
Her music serves as artistic expressions that mirror and relate to natural phenomena, investigating how things interact and behave within spatial dimensions, using light and sound.
Sound helps to convey information about what’s happening around us, influencing how we perceive and understand the spaces we’re in. Simultaneously, light reveals forms, textures, and colors, enriching our visual understanding.
The dynamic interplay of sound and light, in various combinations, affects how we mentally perceive space, ultimately shaping how we view our surroundings. Her music revolves around investigating where sound and light intersect within physical spaces. Her main goal is to craft immersive experiences for the audience by combining sonic experimentation with the presence of light in those spaces.
